Import Tips
• Verify spark-ignition engine certification and exact kVA rating via manufacturer's spec sheet to confirm HTS 8502.20.00.85 classification
• Include EPA emissions documentation for non-road spark-ignition engines to avoid customs delays
• Beware of misclassification as compression-ignition (diesel) sets under 8502.11 if glow plugs are present without spark plugs
